Dave Diego or Bust!
Thanks to everyone for tuning in for yesterday’s SecondHand Radio with Jeff. It is the final episode, at least on Blog Talk Radio. I’m switching over to Talkshoe for future episodes. And I’m probably moving to Thursday nights. Gotta wrangle up some guests, but I’ll keep you posted, of course.
For those of you that have already listened to the show, if you’d like to check out the links for Jeff’s kids’ projects, here are the links:
Austin’s Skateboard Park Project
So as I sit in Hilly’s apartment, listening to the merriment that is Jester, Uncle Monkey Boy, Othurme, Winter, Motley, and myself singing and playing Rock Band and drinking, it’s time to write something about Dave Diego.
Hilly and Winter and Motley and I drove along the coast, heading for San Diego. Some scenery was prettier than others, but the driver went (relatively) quickly. There was a lot of traffic, but no big deal.
When we got to San Diego and finally parked, we saw Boba Phet.
And the folks from the Dharma Initiative.
We decided – after realizing that Nicky Rotten’s was having a UFC fight night and charging a $10 cover charge – that we’d replant Dave Diego into the Whiskey Girl across the street.
There were of course, many people there. Dave and Hilly were together like glue on corn flakes.
Or wait, was it this two?
Hard to say. There’s Vahid and Hilly. Hilly was sandwiched between them most of the evening.
There’s Winter, Vahid, and Hilly having some laughs. There were many there that evening.
And SJ giving me some loving.
There’s Richard and Daniel, part of the gay coalition.
And there’s Paul.
And Jerry, aka Othurme.
There were zombies!
And guitarists singing Johnny Cash and Oasis!
And babes galore!
I mean, LOOK!
And there were heated debates about the injectability of gayness!
And again, much laughter.
And many more pictures on Flickr, which you can find by clicking in the “Stalking Karl” section in the sidebar of the blog. Just click on the blue and pink circle thingie.
Afterwards, despite nearly getting mugged by a guy with a paint scraper, we walked around to find Motley a ladies’ room. In doing so, we ran across someone who told us about a free art show. Most importantly, there was an open bar.
So we went to the art show and met numerous artists in a couple of different lofts. There was some cool collaborative art mural being done by a bunch of different artists. And also hair graffiti.
There’s Motley sporting her new bad-ass beehive.
It was a very cool night and the art show just made a marvelously fortuitive cap to the evening. Wish you’d been there. For reals, yo.

Dude, you got some of the best photos! The Boba Phet the moment we got out of the car was brilliant. I was still trying to figure out who it was and you’re snapping away! I had a great time driving down with you and Hilly.

It seems as though I miss all the good parties. Poop. Now I have to go look through all your pictures so I can pretend that I was cool enough to be there.

You have the most fun. You must feel like the girl with the most cake all the time, only without the cake.

I’m way too anal to let “Boba Phet” slip by without a spelling correction. Come on, people! How hard is it to get it right? It’s “John Wayne Bobbitt Fett.” In Star Wars Episode XIV, The Penis Menace, he lost a third leg appendage to Jackoff DaButt when trying to do the Kessell Run Han Solo-style. Everyone knows it takes 12 barsucks to do the Kessell Run.

I think that’s a good look for you, Karl. Did you manage to get the hottie’s phone number?

Wait, you saw some folks from the Dharma Initiative? That would have freaked me the fuck out and I would have ran for cover.
Wait, you saw some real zombies? That would have freaked me the fuck out and I would have ran for cover.
O.K…I’m done freaking out now.
It looks like you had a great time and I have to say as a former Hairstylist Extraordinaire I’m totally diggin’ the Hair Graffiti. Motley’s beehive is way too cool.
Why does her beehive make me want to sing “Love Shack”?

That looks like you had a great time. I hate you all having a great time without me! Well.. not “hate” hate.. but ya know… hate…

Winter – Gotta be ready with that camera! I’m like Quick Draw McGraw!
Sarah – It was a blast. Lots more photos on Flickr.
Crys – Yeah, some moments just look better in black and white.
Kat – We did, we did.
Fox – Well, the cake is coming to an end soon. Like a week from Wednesday. My bank account will take months to recover from all the traveling I’ve done since May.
Whall – Oops, thanks for the correction. I’m an idiot.
Hello – It was one of those amazing happenstance moments that really put the icing on the Dave Diego cake.
Robin – Thanks!
Iron Fist – Yeah, his costume rocked.
Dragon – I did get her card…
Lisa – My hair is STILL a little green, despite washing my hair twice.

Thanks Karl. I had a total blast on your show yesterday! It’s like being on Larry King, without the old guy.
Great pics… and exactly what I was talking about when I was whining that I never get to do anything fun with you guys.

Came here for the pics and they just aren’t showing up! Instead there are just flickr place holders, sad face! Can’t wait to see the pictures about which everyone has been clamoring.

Jeff – Had a great time with you on the show. The photos will hopefully lead to you showing up at a future gettogether.
Justin – I think I fixed the problem.

Um. If I have to be the meat in a sandwich, that’s the sandwich to be in, fo sho!

Hello – Well, they should all be showing up now, though you can view the whole set and more on my Flickr under the “Karlifornia” set.

I still can’t see the pics!!! I’ll be back to try again.

August – Don’t know why you can’t see them. That’s weird. They show up just fine in my browser.

I also cannot see the pics. Dammit! I want my money back!
Okay – I’ll just go to Flickr.
Still – sounds fun!

[...] I’m not going to… Instead I’m going to point you to my flickr page and all the other posts that went up detailing different aspects of the [...]
Sounds from the description like it was a lot of fun, but none of the Flicker photos appear on the blog. Maybe its an IE issue…
